My first post
You inspire me
It is safe to be here. Now. It is comfortable to be here. Now.
It is pleasant to be here. Now. It is appealing to be here. Now.
Here, you do not have a Putin breathing down your neck. Or annexing your territory. Or questioning your association.
Here, you are free to express your inner most thoughts without looking over your shoulders.
With the quiet note of the flute playing in the background, accompanying each stroke of your key, you are free, and completely enveloped by the sound of soothing music and oblivion of the madness unveiling on the other side of here.
Here, is a place that is free and devoid of political turmoil, oil spillage,
school shooting and school looting,
suicide and suicide note,
royal wedding and royal divorce,
football fans and football fanatics,
poverty and wants,
remorsefulness and regrets,
drugs and addiction,
double standards and low standards,
This is a safe place to be. The Poetry Marathon platform is a sane place, a safe place, a place to place my plate, a place to place my plait, a place to place my, never mind.
Rarzack Olaegbe is here now.
As he was in 2020. As he was in 2021. That makes it the Trinity.
A journalist with a vested interest in financial technology or fintech, as it is widely known. Used to publish an internationally circulated niche magazine for the fintech ecosystem. Run a syndicated weekly column in four platforms. A communication advisor to some fintech firms. TEDx curator. And still searching for more. Always curious. Always learning.
Always optimistic.
Always realistic.
Not fanatic.
Writing is a tool of expression. Because there are always stories to tell. If not about fintech firms and the ecosystem. It is about online banking platforms. Or fintech unicorns. Or would-be unicorns. Or venture capitalists. Or angel investors. Or cyber fraud. Or fintech brands. Or generating content for interested clients. Or persons. Or platforms. Or Poetry Marathon.
It is a privilege to be here. And now. I feel safe. In the comfort of this eminent group of renowned poets.
Ever learning.
Ever will be.
Because You inspire me.
Here I Go Again!
Hi everyone! I’m Christina Tang-Bernas. I’m doing the half marathon for the second time, writing from sunny Southern California. The first time was such a blast and pushed me to write, I knew I had to do it all over again.
I write fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. But poetry will always be my first love and what I write when I get stressed about all the other writing. If you’re curious, you can find out more here: https://christinatangbernas.com/
Thanks to the organizers for putting such a wonderful event on, and I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s writings!
Poetry Marathon 2022!
One of the things that sustained me through the pandemic was knowing there was a community of poets worldwide, sharing their dreams and their words of hope. The Poetry Marathon brings people together and helps us to create beautiful and poignant words that uplift and connect us. I am happy to be participating again this year in the Half Marathon. As always, I begin preparing ahead of time by baking so I have snacks during the day, by practicing, using the random prompt generator on the main page and by clearing my schedule for the day so I have the time to write freely. Wishing everyone good luck as we meet together on June 25th!

Poetry Marathon 22
My name is Sundar I am hoping to enter 12 poems. It would be lovely when the muse comes in abundance and the poems just flow spontaneously. This is every poet’s dream. Wishing the best of luck to all fellow poets. Sundar
Hi everyone
I am so pumped to be a part of this event again this year.
I did the half last year and i had a blast, so this year I’m going for the full 24.
I can’t wait to meet everyone.
Kudos to the organisers for this beautiful event.
Hi everyone,
My name is Idris Braimoh. I am a poet from Nigeria. I have been writing poetry since high school and I am finally publishing some of my poems this year.
I joined this marathon to get my creative juices flowing and I can’t wait to see where this road takes me.
I would like to thank the organisers for giving me this opportunity to express myself.
There is a first time for everything. The time is NOW.
This is my first marathon….even counting the running kind. Poetry is my jam, but so is sleep and countless other distractions. Stay tuned to see which vice prevails!
